Emotion should not be rendered by an excited trembling it can neither be added on nor be imitated. It is the seed, the work is the flower.

More quotes by Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
What greatly attracted me - and it was the main line of advance of Cubism - was how to give material expression to this new space of which I had an inkling. So I began to paint chiefly still lifes, because in nature there is a tactile, I would almost say a manual space... that was the earliest Cubist painting - the quest for space.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
You put a blob of yellow here, and another at the further edge of the canvas: straight away a rapport is established between them. Colour acts in the way that music does.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
Georges Braque
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Illusions... are simple facts, but they have been created by the mind, by the spirit, and they are one of the justifications of the new spatial configuration.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
I find that it is important to work slowly. Anyone who looks at such a canvas will follow the same path the artist took, and he will experience that it is the path which counts more than the outcome of it, and that the route taken has been the most interesting part.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that cannot be explained.
Georges Braque
Perspective starts from one viewpoint and never gets away from it. But the viewpoint is quite unimportant. It is though someone were to draw profiles all his life, leading people to think that a man has only one eye.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
